The Balaton-felvidék (Balaton Highlands) wine region is located in the northwestern part of Lake Balaton on the southern slopes of the volcanic hills between the Káli Basin and Aszófo. Although situated a bit further away from Lake Balaton, the climate is mostly determined by the proximity of this large body of water. Viniculture dates back to Roman times in the Balaton-felvidék region. This area is rich in white varieties producing elegant white wines with pleasant acidity and aromas.
